SALTWATER AKOYA CULTURED ROUND PEARL NECKLACE WITH 9CT GOLD CLASP
Christine Alexander Fine Jewellery
Step right up, Pearl enthusiasts, and feast your eyes on these beautifully matched wonders! Grown from the Akoya mollusc in the faraway lands of Japan, these individually knotted Pearls are the epitome of elegance. Measuring 6-6.5mm in diameter, each Pearl boasts a stunning lustre that's sure to catch the eye. And let's not forget the pièce de résistance: an Art Deco style, 9ct Gold clasp that adds a touch of vintage glamour.
But wait, there's more! These beauties are available in lengths ranging from 16 to 24 inches, as well as a 7.5-inch bracelet. And here's the kicker - they're strung to order, so please allow 10-14 days for delivery. Do you have a specific size or colour in mind? No problem! Just drop me a message with your requirements, and we'll make it happen.
Now, let's take a moment to appreciate the marvel that is the Pearl. It's truly remarkable how nature can transform an unwanted grain of sand into one of the most exquisite gems in the world. Pearls, alongside Coral, Amber, and Jet, belong to the exclusive club of organic gems. Picture this: a foreign object, like a pesky grain of sand, enters a mollusc and becomes an irritant. In a bid to protect itself, the mollusc releases a silky substance called nacre to cover the intruder, thus creating the Pearl.
But here's the kicker - as much as we love the idea of Pearls forming naturally in the sea, the reality is a tad less romantic. Diving for Pearls wreaks havoc on coral reefs and marine life, leading to environmental degradation. That's where cultured Pearls come into play. These environmentally-friendly gems are grown under the watchful eye of Pearl farmers, ensuring sustainability without compromising on beauty.
And last but not least, a word on care. Treat your Pearls like royalty, and they'll last a lifetime. Wear them often to bask in their natural beauty, but steer clear of household chemicals, perfumes, and hairsprays. And did you know? Pearls, along with Moonstone and Alexandrite, are the birthstones of June, making them the perfect gift for all you June babies out there.
